Education
The first and second year curriculum is taught by faculty in the basic science departments which include Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Pharmacology, and Physiology and Biophysics.
Clinical experience is introduced in the first year through the Patient Centered Medicine course. Clinical training at RWJMS is conducted with the use of standardized patients, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), and individual observation and feedback by faculty. All educational experiences undergo evaluation by students and faculty throughout the four years.
Students at RWJMS make active contributions to the medical and scientific community as part of their medical education. All students are required to complete an independent research or service project and publish or present the results as a requirement for graduation.
RWJMS students receive their clinical training at one of two major academic medical centers: Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, or Cooper University Hospital in Camden.
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at RWJMS offers the opportunity for advanced research studies toward a master's or doctorate degree at one of three cooperating institutions: RWJMS, Princeton University, or Rutgers University. Its newest program is the Master's degree in Clinical & Translational Research.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
school, and learning to be mad, in a dream—what is this
life?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“One of the benefits of a college education is, to show the boy its little avail.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
